Hi. I did some reading on this, and I think it just depends how you want it to be. You can have a cube in any direction so really z could be north south, east west, or up down, or it could be upside down if you wanted, but me I think from what I've been reading folks usually like to think z is up down. Only a computer screen's is 2d says y is up down. Me I don't know why x isn't instead, but yeah. that's why folks sometimes said z was north south or east west. Me I prefer z being up down. Makes more sense to me.. We know x on standard graph paper I think is north south right? And y is west east? So seems to me we simplify things to make z go up down so we can leave x and y alone as they were.
I found this and it looks like it's sort of backing my claim if I read it right. Granted this is Wikipedia, and I try to treat it with a grange of salt. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartesian_coordinate_system -----Original Message----- From: gamers-boun...@audyssey.org [mailto:gamers-boun...@audyssey.org] On Behalf Of Thomas Ward Sent: Saturday, June 26, 2010 4:52 AM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Important MOTA News Hi Hayden, No. If it does David has it backwards because in a 3d coordinates system y always handles your altitude/depth and z handles north/south movement.
